The majority of the 58,000 teachers are not earning that, but these figures hit us.

Mr. Foghlú mentioned the school principals. I want to give credit to the principals of the large schools. The job of principal is similar to the manager of a major business. What is the staffing level of the largest schools with 1,500 plus pupils? I know of a school with 20 mainstream teachers but when one adds the other posts, the SNAs etc., one could have more than 50 staff.
